1t is very plain, when We read the exs
tracts from the Atlanta Constitution, pro-
claiming for protection, and such letter
as Gen. Jim Walker recently addressed to
the Wytheville Enterprise, announcing his
purpose to favor no party or candidate that
does not favor the protective policy and
the repeal of the internal revenue tax, that
the Democratic party is on its last legs in
the South.

John Roach. the well known American
ship builder. died at his residence in New
York, on the morning of the 10th. His di-
sease was cancer of the mouth ard throat
similar to that which caused Gen Grants
death Mr. Roach was 2 man of great in
tellectual force. and tie most prominent
ship builder in America. He was the bett
posted man on the tariff question in this
country WAS Aaent speaker and convinc-
ing writer. and contributed literally of his
means to give effect to his views and coz
victions both i'll politics ard religion. His
hand was ever open TO melting chali ty and
his generous Irish heart never failed to
respond to the appeals of the distressed.
We learn from the Bulletin, published
at Columbia, Fluvanna county, Va. that
Messrs. w " Sckel and Alfred Black.
jr., of Philadelphia, are in that locality
for the purpose of testing some of the
new machinery upon the premises of the
Tagus Gold Mining Company, with which
they confidently hope to be able to work
the mines to such advantage as to make
them profitable. The gold belt in Eastern
Virginia has been much neglected. We
beard Prof Eggleston, of New Y ork once
remark that the gold bearing district of
the South, reaching from Stafford county, |
Va. TO Georgia, held as rich deposits of |
gold ores as are found as in many of the
successful leads IN California and that with |
similar machinery to that used on the |
Pacific coast, and equal energy and scien-
tific direction, could be made to pay as
well. Buckingham and Fluvanna 10th
hold these ores, but they have never been
worked on comprehensive scale. We
trust the men above named may be sue
cessful in the lest" they are making. !

Good Advice to Merchants.

One Of the most successful mer-
chants of Minneapolis has this to
say in a recent issue of the North
west Trade:
II think it would pay country
merchants to have special sales, but
they should advertise them in the
right way. If l were running a
store in a small town I would put a
large, original and striking adver-
tisement in the local weekly paper
and have dodgers distributed in the
town and country to the trade tribu-
tary to the place. I wouldn't make
the country people excited and then
disappoint them when they come to
town. l would make such bargain
sales on my big day cash ones, and
Jet that fact be known and enforce
it. This alone would make my
store talked about more than any,
thing l could do. And that is what
you want. See?

Again We are called to chronicle
the death Of an old and respected
citizen in the person Of Mr.. Joseph
Smith. who passed away on the 28th
ult. at 8 o'clock p. m, after an illness
Of several months. Mr.. Smith was
born in the county Of Dome, Ire
land. July 18th, 1918, which made
him seventy four years and sixteen
days old. In the year 1S43 he
crossed the ocean and settled in
Canada and there remained until
1868, at which time he left the Do
minion with his family for a home
in the new west, which he found
near this city where he spent the
evening and decline Of life. Mr..
Smith, like his ancestors for six or
more generations, occupied a pew in
the house Of worship and was a
member Of the Irish Presbyterian
Church. The teachings Of his child
hood had an abiding influence to
the last hours of life. He died
trusting in the merits of our COM
mon Lord and Savior, ready and
anxious to 60 at the call Of the
Master.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the house at 8 o'clock a. m.
the Goth ult. by ED. G. w. Freeman.
A very large concourse Of friends
and citizens gathered on the occasion
to express their sympathy for the
family and respect for the departed.
Peace to his spirit and rest to his
ashes.

Gooalo1 q Hureo, q ~ Pair orOunda,

The following account Of the mill
tia encampment is given by the
Huron Huronite: Adjutant Gen.
eral Tyner Of Dakota, on Thursday,
decided TO locate the next annual
sn~campment Of the Dakota militia
in Huron. In making this selec-
ton he considered the cost Of getting
here, and the amount Of the appro-
priation available for transportation
expenses. Also, the section Of Da-
kota where it ought to be located.
In the last consideration it must be
remembered that the first encainp-
ment was at Fargo and the next at
Aberdeen.
BY good rights, the next one
should be somewhere south Of Aber-
deem. Another item was, which is
the most cheaply accessible in all
the section indicated? Do weigh
the matter. When this was done i:
was found that the most advantages
favored Huron-and Huron was
selected.
A
1t will be the best encampment
that has ever been held. The fair
grounds have been selected for the
occasion. Water in great abundance
will be provided by pipes running
from the city water works; also, ice
in abundance. All meals will be
served ready cooked to the com.
mand, and the meals will be very
fair ones-cooking guaranteed.
All the conveniences will be bet.
tor than ever before and the ''sojel
boys" will go away happier than
from either Of the other brigade
musters.
The time set for the meeting il
the first eight days in September
beginning the first day Of the month
It was considered that this date viii
be right between harvest and thresh.
ing, and accommodate more than any
other time. By that date the militia
will all be armed with the latest i'm,
proved Springfield rifles, and The
territory will be the posessor Of two
thre inch brass guns-regular baby
walkers. With these arms the Da
kota militia will be better armed
and equipped than the citizen sol
diery Of any state in the Union.
The supply Of tents will be very
complete. Gen. Tyner will 60 te
st. Paul next week to purchase 12i
tents for the use Of the territory.
A rifle range will be established
and prizes be given to the best
marksmen.
The total cost to the territory fol
all this encampment will be less than
either Of its predecessors. Gen. Ty.
ner has done well in locating this
encampment here and his judgement
in 30 doing will be recommended by
all right thinking men.

The eyes are always in sympathy with

Of its condition. When the eyes become

Is an evidence that the system has

which Ayers S~arsaparilla is tho best
known remedy.

miles vida. Think Of what a vast
territory this is-larger than all New

IN mind, gase y the crop statistics
complied BY the commissioner Of
immigration. Wheat in Union
county, IN the extreme lower end Of
the territory, is perfect-stands at
400: in Mafshatl, one Of the central
counties, it il 100, and in Cavalier
